Or Lille in 1 hr 21 minutes.
Wonder what prices are like in Calais. For those who have just passed through or used the supermarkets, the city centre is surprisngly nice.

Anyone tempted to Live in France and commute to London for high paying contracts?

Have never been to Calais but I understand there is not much to see and do there. Most people just pass through on their way to somewhere else. So buy as much as you can sas and set up some B&B's.

We do waste some money in this country.

True, there's some very nice little restaurants in the centre.

I wonder how much would be for a monthly subscription. Perhaps thousands of pounds?

I was thinking of high flyers like sasguru, not some dodgy Italian permie.
